ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Girl Who Drank the Moon” by Kelly Barnhill tells the story of a young girl, Luna, who is unknowingly gifted with powerful magic after drinking moonlight as an infant. Raised by the kind Witch, Xan, Luna grows up in a magical forest, unaware of her true potential. Meanwhile, a village in fear of a supposed Witch's wrath sacrifices babies each year. Themes of love, memory, sacrifice, and the abuse of power are explored as Luna’s journey unfolds, challenging the dark traditions of her world. The story emphasizes the importance of love, family bonds, and the necessity of questioning tradition.
